Project Away: the bridge between you and your AI agents

Hands-free PC control and a live link to your AI agents. Free, private, open source.

Windows 10/11 · works with any webcam · MIT licensed

What it does

Your webcam and voice become your mouse, keyboard and AI hotline.

Hands

Move the cursor, click, scroll and drag with simple hand gestures from your webcam.

Voice

Dictate anywhere with speech-to-text and smart cleanup.

Say "Hey <agent name>" to talk to your AI agent.

Face

Away pauses when you look away, so nothing clicks by accident.

Agents

Agent Link connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hark or any MCP/REST agent.

Agents can see your context, notify you, read your replies and, only if you allow it, use your computer.

How it works

Three steps from download to talking with your agent.

01

Set up

Install and open Away

A guided tour sets up your camera.

02

Make it yours

Pick your gestures

Choose from the built-in gestures, or train your own in Gesture Studio.

03

Connect

Connect an agent

One button connects it. Remote agents join by QR code or link.
